The brake system in a vehicle requires routine maintenance for normal wear and tear.

The brake system consists of the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid, a master cylinder, calipers, a power booster, and may be either drum style or disc and have ABS (anti-lock brake) sensors, and brake pads as well as the necessary hoses and lines.

Normal wear and tear in a brake system requires routine maintenance. Your vehicle handbook will have the recommended mileage at which the maintenance should be performed.

Beyond the normal wear and tear, the following are signs your brake system needs immediate attention:

• 1. The dashboard light turns on
• a. An amber light indicates a problem with the anti-lock brake system
• b. A red light indicates a system imbalance
• 2. The brake pedal is spongy or slow to respond or goes further down than normal
• 3. Grinding or squealing when braking
• 4. The vehicle pulls to the right or the left when braking
• 5. When the car does not stop normally when braking
